"Peter Gordon reveals great ways to eat shoots and leaves." The Sunday Times Style Magazine "A book of really great year-round salads." Observer Food Monthly"
Product Description
Peter Gordon, the celebrated pioneer of fusion cooking, has chosen to celebrate salads as the new main course. No longer will salads be seen as nothing more than a few limp leaves and a couple of tomatoes. This inspiring book extols the salad as a satisfying main course, which excites the eye, delights the taste buds, fulfills today's drive to eat more healthily - and provides a delicious and satisfying meal. Beginning with an introduction to the key elements which go to create the perfect salad, the book features a dazzling array of ideas, including perfect party food like: Baby Little Gem Leaves filled with Spiced Peanuts, Green Mango and Mozzarella, everyday suppers such as a warm salad of Chorizo, Olive, Potato and Broad Bean with Crispy Onion, and dazzling dinner party centre pieces such as Crayfish, Avocado and Ginger salad with Wild Rocket and Chive Dressing. As well as new ideas, there are also some sparkling re-workings of classic salads, such as: the Tweaked Tricolore: roast cherry tomato and mozzarella with the addition of guacamole, basil oil and corn chips. There is also advice on different ways of adding 'crunch' to salads with deep fried shallots and toasted nuts, as well as some superb basic dressing recipes. The book also includes information on buying and growing more unusual greens, herbs and other salad ingredients.

Incredibly easy, dashing one-dish lunch or dinner-party fare. Have you noticed that guests just don't want to eat piles of stodge anymore? Peter Gordon's Salads are utterly delicious but can be deceptively presented as healthy and even as GI Diet-friendly. Thing is, you can tell he's a chef; basically the setup he imagines is a kind of mise, where you prepare each ingredient separately and then assemble. This can seem like a lot of faff after work, by the time you've toasted this and roasted and peeled that. Some of the recipes have one ingredient too many. But this is a fine book for entertaining; I've now made half a dozen of his salads for dinner or lunch parties and have been complimented every time.

Salads: The New Main Course
Now - MY Main Course - this seems to me the best way to lose weight and love it - Diet is a four-letter word and not worthy to be used. Enjoy a variety of Salads the Gordon Way I could not want another book on Salads
